How do you physically access it? Router plugged into your existing
network?

run the program 'setup', then select 'Network Settings' from the
menu. Enable 'DHCP' mode for the interface, and if necessary
enter the new default gateway as the satellite router IP, and
the new DNS information also.
It's possible that the DHCP server on the satellite router will
set the DNS and gateway information itself : the DHCP protocol
permits this if the client and server both support it.
Then exit the program, run 'service network restart' and it
should work.
